My computer would not do anything but go back and forth to the blue screen. I reinstalled Windows, but everytime I would re-start or shut-down I would be back where I started. Finally I went into msconfig and in startup, I disable everything but Win Zip. The computer started working.

This happened about 6 weeks ago. Since then I have been using my computer with the selective startup option. I had not installed anything or uninstalled anything. Could not figure what had happened. I was going to run hijack this and send you the log, but if I enable everything in the startup tab I would have to restart and if I restart I will only get a blue screen over and over. There are numerous items in the startup. I tried to print it out from msconfig, but was unable to.

I ran Norton in Safe Mode, found no viruses. Ran Ad-Aware, found 9 objects and deleted them. Ran Spybot, found 61 problems and fixed. Then added a number of items in selective startup and rebooted, everything looks good. I ran Hijack This and have some RO and R1 files. Would you like to see the Hijack Log?
